You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

Zhao Qing's office was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The situation he feared most did not appear.

[Paipai] expects to invest at least 100 million in publicity and marketing in the first quarter of the new year.

He and Shang Qi have already felt that the short video industry is expected to enter the fast lane.

[Bai Shou] There is so much money on the books, but the entire leadership team is very Buddhist. Even in the eyes of industry insiders, they are a bit... ． ． ． .Search!

According to the consistent pattern of [Block Hand], almost no money is spent on publicity.

Of course, a group of friends and businessmen will want to seize the opportunity and overtake in corners!

"[Paipai] has wasted several months."

"Time waits for no one!" Zhao Qing thought to himself.

At present, the competition situation in the entire industry has actually gradually become clear.

[Baishou] is the only one with a market penetration rate that is much higher than the remaining top players combined.

Weibo is also making short videos, but they can only be considered impressive.

There are also some friends who rely on celebrity platforms and take the spoof humor route, and they are doing well.

Putting them aside, only [Youqu] looks like it is about to take off!

Zhao Qing, the founder of [Paipai], has always been ambitious. He always thought: "[Baishou], stand up! Very good, the rest of you here are all rubbish!"

Who would have thought that when Cheng Zhu came in to disrupt the situation, there would be a "big Buddha" standing behind him!

If he really gets the support of Penguin, Zhao Qing will immediately start a high-level meeting and everyone will directly renegotiate: Should the 100 million promotional funds in the first quarter be spent?

Avoid and avoid, never confront the enemy head-on at the same stage!

But if it weren't for penguins... ... .Hahaha! I'm so scared!

At this moment, Shang Qi heard Zhao Qing laughing on the phone, and a smile appeared on his face.

“I also didn’t expect that Cheng Zhu would refuse Hongshan’s lead investment and instead let Shunwei Capital lead this round. Of course he knew that Shunwei’s real big boss was the one selling mobile phones.

But in the capital circle, the gap between Shunwei and Hongshan is still quite big, especially at this stage, the difference is not even a tiny bit.

After all, Shunwei has only been established for a few years now and has not participated in many projects.

As for the so-called pre-installation of mobile phones, directly built-in APP, this is a "crooked way" created by Cheng Zhu

, everyone will not think like this at the beginning.

After all, Shunwei has invested in so many Internet companies, but it has not been pre-installed on certain Mi phones.

Shunwei is Shunwei, and a certain meter is a certain meter.

It’s just that the big boss is the same person.

There are many ways here.

What's more, there's a smoke bomb this time!

Zhao Qing was a little confused despite being excited.

"You think he is mentally ill? Why did he reject Hongshan and choose to obey?" He couldn't think of a reason.

"You're on to something right now. I've been in the circle trying to find out news for you. Otherwise, why do you think I'm calling now? I knew about the financing situation before the news came out." Shang Qi began to claim credit.

He still felt a little guilty for being banned from [Paipai] last time, but couldn't he show off his energy?

‘Then what did you find out? "Zhao Qing immediately said anxiously.

Shang Qi did not show off, and replied: "You should have seen it, there is also [Byte] among the companies financing this time."

"Well, I saw it."

“[Youqu] and [Toutiao] both play with algorithms, but when it comes to [algorithms], everyone knows that Domestic Byte is the expert!”

"That's for sure. Which company can do better in algorithms than Byte." Zhao Qing agreed.

“But in this investment, Byte was brought along by Shunwei, and the two companies came together to do it, you understand?

"Shang Qi has already inquired clearly.

'Then what you mean is...

"I estimate that Cheng Zhu most likely wants to get some technical support from [Byte], which is what he lacks most at the moment." Shang Qi analyzed clearly.

Not to mention, his analysis was also correct.

[Youqu] is about to start spending money, and I must upgrade my [algorithm].

Achieve perfection.

The product itself is of excellent quality, which is the most important thing.

Otherwise, no matter how much money is thrown at it, no matter how much resources are tilted, it will be useless, and it will only be successful for a while.

What's more, sometimes, this thing really can't be measured with such a small amount of money.

Zhao Qing himself works for an Internet company, and he deeply agrees with Shang Qi's statement.

"Understood! I understand this very well!" he said loudly.

Sometimes, when you encounter obstacles at the technical level, that is the most irritating thing.

Product upgrades to give users a better experience are the killer!

"So, don't laugh too early, we still can't be too optimistic." Shang Qi began to beat Zhao Qing, "Well, although [Toutiao] cannot compare with Penguin in terms of traffic, it can also attract traffic to [Youqu] ." Zhao Qingshen nodded in agreement.

"Not only that, I guess Lei Jun will also promote [Youqu] in the mobile app store." Shang Qi thinks this is a possibility.

"Well, that makes sense, no, I think it definitely will!" Zhao Qing replied.

Shunwei + Byte, this is equal to the fourfold support of money, resources, technology and traffic!

Isn’t this immediately clear?

Shunwei Capital led the investment, which makes sense!

The two of them just talked to each other, and finally came to the answer: We can't be happy too early!

As everyone knows, this bitch Cheng Zhu is very greedy.

He wants both!

This time, he got too much.

More than anyone can imagine!

After ending the call, Zhao Qing felt that he had all the information.

"It's great to have acquaintances in the circle." He sighed.

In business wars, information is often important!

Now, what is known is that the situation is not very optimistic.

"But so what?" Zhao Qinghao suddenly became angry.

"As long as the penguin doesn't end up, everyone will be beaten!"

What's more, [Paipai] has already reached a certain height, and [Youqu] has just ended the cold start stage.

He was afraid that just like last time, that kind of intimidating and terrifying existence would directly give him a palm strike from the sky, making it impossible for him to turn over!

In the business war, if Penguin fully supports it, it will naturally have a similar effect.

In the past few months, Zhao Qing had been feeling aggrieved and angry.

"Then let's have a real fight this time!"

"Don't mess with these crooked people! You just know how to fight for backers, right?"

"If you have the ability, let's see the real results under your hands!"

Cheng Zhu, who was in Hangzhou, didn't know that he had become [Paipai]'s imaginary enemy.

Of course, [Paipai] he will definitely take care of it in the future!

Today, he is mainly paying attention to the popularity of [Youqu]’s financing.

In comparison, the popularity of this financing is not as high as the subsequent financings of Pomelo Tea.

The reason is simple. It is somewhat common for Internet companies to obtain high-level financing.

Moreover, it is far away from the lives of many people.

Milk tea is different. Many college students or graduates may have had the idea of ​​opening their own milk tea shop as a small entrepreneurial project.

With the success of pomelo tea, everyone will feel more involved!

To put it simply, it is more suitable for daydreaming...

In fact, compared to the first round of financing of Youcha, the amount of the first round of financing of Youqu is much higher. It is the same as the amount of financing obtained by [Byte] last year, up to 100 million US dollars!

The company’s valuation has reached US$500 million!

For many Internet companies, this is already the end.

But for [Youqu], this is just the first step forward!

"Although it has also been on the hot search, it mainly relies on my status as a college student." Cheng Zhu observed.

"Besides, it will become increasingly difficult to use in the future." He smiled.

He was also quite helpless about this.

Who makes it almost impossible to find another college student similar to me in the country?

“Everyone can guess it’s me when they see the trending search.”

"The head index has dropped by at least half."

Who's to blame?

I don’t blame you stupid college students for your incompetence!

A bunch of useless things!

In fact, the capital circle is definitely the one that pays the most attention to financing.

Wen Hua from Tiancheng Capital felt a little numb when he learned about this.

At first, after experiencing this pretentious incident of "100 million will be added if you are late for one minute", she thought: What are you crazy about?

Later, she began to feel that it was okay for him to be crazy.

Until now, she herself felt that Tiancheng Capital was not qualified to invest in Cheng Zhu's project!

Every time he raised money, she felt like she was about to encounter a wave of "whipping corpses"

Cheng Zhu's whip will hit her remotely.

"Ah, I feel the body is warm... it's burning...

It’s so bright, this financing list is so bright!

Compared with them, Tiancheng, which is not considered a first-class capital in Hangzhou, is indeed a subpar commodity.

As for me, a mere vice president, it seems that I no longer have the qualifications to sit down face to face with Cheng Zhu and talk about business!

"Not to mention, I actually thought he was handsome at that time..." Such a strange thought came to her mind.

People in the investment circle actually attach great importance to external aspects.

Regardless of gender, as long as they are good-looking, it is definitely a plus.

She didn't know what she was thinking at the beginning. Seeing that she was a college student, she couldn't help but want to take advantage of it.

"Oh my god! I'm probably starting to get greasy in my middle age, right?" She began to do some deep self-reflection.

Sometimes, Wen Hua would think: "If I hadn't been late on purpose and had really reached a cooperation with Pomelo Tea, would he have taken me with him all the way now?"

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed possible.

But in fact, Cheng Zhu never considered Tiancheng Capital at all in the first place. He just used other people's impolite behavior to build momentum for himself.

It's just another matter from the other person's perspective.

"How old will he be after New Year's Day?" Wen Hua thought to himself.

A young man in his early twenties has already made his QQ business one of the best in the world. His milk tea business has also been valued at more than 10 billion. His Internet business has just started, and its valuation is already as high as 500 million US dollars!

She didn't know where Cheng Zhu's future limit would be.

She only knows.:::

“Is it possible that I will be ‘whipped to death’ again in the future?”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu called Zhang Sixing into the office to report to him.

Everything is indeed as Shang Qi and Zhao Qing expected, and Youqu is getting a certain degree of technical support from [Byte].

[Algorithm] is the foundation of [Toutiao], and people will definitely not hide their privacy completely.

But it never hurts to communicate more.

Zhang Sixing is already a top talent, and with the help of Dean Zhang, the team he has built cannot be underestimated.

This is countless times better than the Caotai team in the early days of [Douyin] in the previous life.

During this period of time, Zhang Sixing himself said that he felt that he had gained a lot.

He plans to make a small upgrade to [Youqu]’s algorithm before February.

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Cheng Zhu shouted.

Lao Zhang walked in and gave him a brief report.

After hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid your workload in the future will be a bit heavy.

The reason is very simple. Once the number of users of [Youqu] reaches the set target, it will immediately start promoting the GG mode.

This is the most common method of monetizing traffic in the short video field.

However, if GG is pushed based on [algorithm], it will be completely different!

It will be more accurate and more effective!

Zhang Sixing listened to Cheng Zhu's words and nodded with a serious expression.

He, a maniac who works overtime, is not afraid of working overtime anyway. Usually, in order to maintain the relationship with Dean Zhang, Cheng Zhu would ask this good eldest son of Dean Zhang to go home.

When necessary, we will send out Internet celebrity Susu!

After talking about work matters, Zhang Sixing fell into trouble again.

"Just say what you want to say!" Cheng Zhu said angrily.

He couldn't help but complain: "Do you know that everything about you is written on your face? I'm telling you, it's easy for others to take advantage of you!"

Zhang Sixing was a little embarrassed and said: "Well... Wen Ting sent me a text message again, saying congratulations on our successful financing, and also said that she would come to Hangzhou on a business trip in a while and wanted to have a meal with me.

1

Cheng Zhu frowned when he heard this.

"This bitch is quite good at establishing her presence!" He sighed inwardly.

But a smile soon appeared on his face, and he asked with a smile: "Why are you telling me this?"

Are you going to fucking meet me?

I have been your half-master for so long. If you want to be a dog, I will really beat you!

Damn, just thinking about it makes my fists harden!

‘Because she works at Tianyun Capital, and Tianyun Capital is the largest investment institution in [Paipai], so I thought it was necessary to report to you. "He answered honestly.

"You want to eat?"

"Ah? I'm not going." Zhang Sixing was still confused for a moment, as if he was surprised that Cheng Zhu would ask such a question.

He said clearly: "Actually, I have blocked her. She used Shangshang... to send me text messages using her child's number."

Cheng Zhu knew that Zhang Sixing's biological son's full name was Zhang Shaoshang.

Hearing this, he felt even more shameless. "What do you mean by this...has she looked for you before?" Cheng Zhu immediately grasped the point.

"Yeah, yes, I've looked for it."

"What did she say?"

Zhang Sixing began to squirm.

But Cheng Zhu was half of his master emotionally and was his big boss at work. He was really panicking when he was staring at him so hard.

In cultivation novels, this is at least the transformation stage exerting pressure on the golden elixir stage!

You, tell me!

I want to eat this melon!

"She said that she was looking through our old photos recently and had a lot of emotions. Then she told me that whether I believed it or not, she had loved me before." Zhang Sixing also said that he was embarrassed.

"Puff! Hahahaha! Puff puff puff!" Cheng Zhu waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm sorry, hahaha,

I couldn't help it, poof!

He really burst out laughing on the spot.

This made Zhang Sixing even more embarrassed.

As everyone knows, the most embarrassing thing is yet to come.

Cheng Zhu finally suppressed his smile and stared at him with a serious face: "Then what did you do!"

I'm asking you, how did you respond? ?

Damn it, my teacher has made you cool for so long, rekindled your career, and arranged for you an Internet celebrity girl who looks exactly like Bai Yueguang when you were a student, but is prettier and has a better figure.

Normally, this would be called foster father!

Don't let me down, Zhang!

"That, that, I..." Zhang Sixing began to become more and more coy. He hesitated for a while before saying that sentence.

"Your love is rubbish, and so are you." His voice became softer and softer.

Cheng Zhu laughed like crazy again.

What can I say? It must have been very satisfying when I first said this, and I felt very relieved.

However, when I read it out in front of my friends, it was really embarrassing and a bit hard to talk about!

Of course, while he was laughing wildly, he was still giving Lao Zhang a thumbs up.

"Okay, okay, I'll block you after I send it, right?" Cheng Zhu asked.

Zhang Sixing nodded.

Cheng Zhu heard this and expressed satisfaction.

"She must have ulterior motives for coming to you. She must have some purpose." He said.

"Let me think about it, it seems that Tianyun's partner Shang Qi invested in [Paipai]?" Cheng Zhu murmured to himself.

Based on his intuition, he always felt that there should be something going on here!

But, it doesn't matter anymore.

He didn't care about this bitch's personal life.

Anyway, just roll over it!

In the development of [Youqu], this is just some easy things to do.

Just when he was about to chat with Zhang Sixing for a few more words, his cell phone rang.

Cheng Zhu picked up the phone and chatted briefly.

Zhang Sixing looked at him and felt that the boss's face was visibly happy, and his tone had changed. Old Zhang felt that just now, Cheng Zhu's smile was the kind of smile that couldn't be held back. It can't be said to be ridiculing, but it was just poked with a funny point.

But now, the smile is really happy!

Sure enough, after Cheng Zhu put down his phone, he told him a happy event.

Zhang Sixing heard the words, and his eyebrows were instantly overjoyed, and his heart was quite excited. "I called, [Youqu] is officially pre-installed on the phone!" Cheng Zhu said loudly.

The big show has begun!

(ps: It's the last few days of the month, please double the monthly ticket!!!)
